BUILDING SERVICES INDUSTRIAL Technical Data and Dimensions CHILLED & COLD WATER PIPEWORK Durapipe SuperFLO ABS for low temperature fluid transportation. Durapipe SuperFLO ABS combines corrosion resistance, toughness and economic benefits to provide tremendous advantages for low temperature fluid transportation. SuperFLO ABS is a solvent welded, fully matched pipework system incorporating pipe, fittings and valves that is available in both imperial and metric sizes. SuperFLO ABS provides a wide temperature range and the system remains extremely ductile even at temperatures as low as -40°C. Furthermore, SuperFLO ABS is extremely lightweight and is much easier to handle on-site than traditional materials especially during installation which can significantly reduce both time and cost, as well as being fully WRAS approved.
